Adventures at The Bunny Manse

Margot was born on the 11th of September! The birth was a little more exciting than that of Madeline - I woke up around 2:45am and thought, huh, I think I'm in labor - and she was born at 5:11am.  I hemorrhaged  after she was born and have had some other complications this week so we're still having a nesting phase of me sitting around in bed or on the couch with her.  Madeline had surgery on her broken arm on Monday. When they opened up her arm they found it was not the horrible pin needing break they thought it was so drained a bunch of fluid and blood and stitched her up into a new cast. Because it's back to an occult fracture, her cast should come off in three weeks instead of the earlier anticipated 6+ weeks. We're finishing up the final details of moving in.

Still pregnant. Madeline will have surgery on Monday to reattach the bone fragment to the joint and fix the ligament that was torn in her arm. Hopefully the baby decides to go ahead and be born now so I can care for all of my girls.

Moms set up the girls' room while Dads set up the random things around the house that needed to be moved, sawed, sanded, etc. Lots of cleaning, cooking, and playing uno was had.  Things were looking up in the house! Baby was due on September 4th. No baby yet. Lucky too as on September 4th Madeline broke her arm while at the kindergarten open house. We spent the evening and we smas at the Duke ER where we learned she has a radial head fracture (elbow) and will be in a long plaster cast for a few weeks as it heals. We've spent the past four days convincing her that casts are ok, she didn't do anything wrong or bad (where this idea has come from we've yet to figure out), and that she should indeed eat ice cream. See, Friday night we went out to eat at our favorite local place as we'd basically been on the couch all day and needed food. Madeline got home and threw it all up and the...
